Hey, now! Don't go lumping CGI in with those. :) CGI had the same "instant code refresh" as PHP since before PHP even existed. It even had a better "shared nothing" approach since you were guaranteed to start an entirely new process for every request.
- berkes 5y agoSorry. CGI is a bit unfair. I recall it refreshed fine with Perl, but CGI wrapping compiled languages (I did some C webdev back then) was a bit more involved. It's vague, but IIRC, that had more to do with the compiler than the CGI, indeed.
- thraxil 5y agoFair. My main experience with CGI was bash, Perl, and Python so I tend to think of compiled languages in a completely different context.
